Brisbane, Pole, Outridge & Co., Printers and Lithographers, 1897.
Octavo, [viii], 385, [1] (advertisement), xxv (advertisements), [i] (colophon) pages with 2 vignette illustrations and 54 full-page illustrations plus a frontispiece; the plate of the 'General Hospital, Maryborough' facing page 1 in the Ferguson copy digitised online is not present, and appears never to have been so.
Original full roan ruled and decorated in blind, and lettered in gilt on the spine; leather a little rubbed at the extremities and lightly worn at the corners; spine a little sunned; minor conservation to the endpaper hinges, the front flyleaf and the frontispiece (with slight loss to the top corner of these two leaves); title page and last page a little discoloured, with a few tiny chips to the leading edge of the title leaf; early ownership inkstamp (J.G. Schaumburg) on a small number of pages; occasional signs of age and use; overall, still a very good copy.
Ferguson 11749 (noting only mauve cloth boards, and not the publisher's full leather).
